{"id":25674,"library":"grunt-fixmyjs","title":"grunt-fixmyjs","description":"Grunt plugin to automatically fix silly JavaScript lint errors by running fixmyjs. Version 0.3.0 (latest) wraps fixmyjs as a Grunt task to fix lint issues like missing semicolons, curly braces, variable naming conventions, and more. Works with Grunt >=0.4.x and Node >=0.8.0. Supports configuration via .jshintrc, dry-run mode, diff/patch output. No longer actively maintained; prefer modern tools like ESLint with --fix.","status":"deprecated","version":"0.3.0","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/jonschlinkert/grunt-fixmyjs","tags":["javascript","fix","fixmyjs","grunt","gruntplugin","hint","js","jshint","lint"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install grunt-fixmyjs","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add grunt-fixmyjs","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add grunt-fixmyjs","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Core lint fixing engine","package":"fixmyjs","optional":false},{"reason":"Peer dependency for Grunt plugin","package":"grunt","optional":true}],"imports":[{"note":"The task name is 'fixmyjs', not the package 'grunt-fixmyjs'","wrong":"grunt.initConfig({ 'grunt-fixmyjs': { ... } })","symbol":"grunt.initConfig","correct":"grunt.initConfig({ fixmyjs: { ... } })"},{"note":"Load the plugin by its npm package name","wrong":"grunt.loadNpmTasks('fixmyjs')","symbol":"grunt.loadNpmTasks","correct":"grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fixmyjs')"},{"note":"The config option expects a file path or object, not a boolean","wrong":"fixmyjs: { options: { config: true } }","symbol":"fixmyjs (config)","correct":"fixmyjs: { options: { config: '.jshintrc' } }"}],"quickstart":{"code":"npm install grunt-fixmyjs --save-dev\n// Gruntfile.js\nmodule.exports = function(grunt) {\n  grunt.initConfig({\n    fixmyjs: {\n      options: {\n        config: '.jshintrc',\n        indentpref: 'spaces'\n      },\n      target: {\n        files: [{ expand: true, cwd: 'src/', src: ['**/*.js'], dest: 'fixed/' }]\n      }\n    }\n  });\n  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fixmyjs');\n};\n// Run: grunt fixmyjs","lang":"javascript","description":"Install the plugin, configure fixmyjs task to read .jshintrc and fix all JS files in src/ outputting to fixed/."},"warnings":[{"fix":"Migrate to ESLint or Prettier for automated lint fixes.","message":"Package is no longer maintained. fixmyjs itself is deprecated; use ESLint's --fix instead.","severity":"deprecated","affected_versions":">=0.0.0"},{"fix":"Pin grunt to version 0.4.x or adapt plugin for Grunt 1.x.","message":"Grunt v0.4.x only.
